2.Two of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and,having gained it,to learn how to use it properly.Recently I walked into the locker room of a rather well-known golf club after finishing a round.It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes.But a half-dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them.These same men can be found there day after day.And,strangely enough,each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth,successful in business and respected in the community.If material prosperity were the chief necessity for happiness,then each one should have been happy.Yet,it seemed to me,something very important was missing,or else there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through scotch and soda.They knew,each one of them,that their productivity had ceased (停止).When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit,it is dying.And it is even so with man.What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours?I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eye while I was looking through my Bible.The words were few,but they became memorably impressed on my mind:"In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread."
To me,that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections (memories).In fact,the battle of life,of existence,is a challenge to everyone.The immortal words of St.Paul,too,have been and always will be a great inspiration to me.At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight,I have finished the course,I have kept the faith.
28.Which of the following is implied in the first paragraph?A
A.The men seated at tables in the locker room are lost in the significance of life.
B.Wealth results from honest effort.
C.No way can be found to escape the realities of life other than scotch and soda.
D.The men acquire wealth by planting fruit trees.
29.The underlined sentence"In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread"means"B".
A.Bread tastes delicious when sweat pours off your face
B.No pains,no gains
C.Failure is the mother of success
D.Bread comes from the sweat on your face
30.We learn from the passage that the authorA.
A.held a positive attitude towards an active life
B.was a wealthy person in the community
C.was fond of associating with celebrities (名人)
D.kept a secret of the reason why he was so impressed
31.What is implied in the passage by the writer?D
A.To use wealth properly,eat,drink and be merry.
B.Where there is a will,there is a way.
C.As life is but like a dream,a man is like a fruit tree.
D.If you cease to struggle,you cease to live.
分析 文章主要通过作者的一个经历来讲述作者对生命和生活的体会和感悟,
解答 ABA D
28 A 细节题.由第一段倒数第四句"…else there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through scotch and soda."可知,对某些人来说,除了 scotch 和 soda,没有别的什么东西可以帮助他们逃避现实了,所以A项正确.B项,由第一段第一句"Two of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort…"可知,世界上最难的有两件事,一件就是通过诚实的努力来获得财富,但并非说财富来源于诚实的努力,所以B项错误.
C项,文章未提及,所以B项错误.D项,fruit trees 只是作者打的一个比方,并非说这些人靠种果树发财,所以D项错误.故正确答案为A.
29 B 推断题."In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread"为本文点睛之笔,直译为"汗水流过脸颊,你可以吃这块面包",隐喻为"一分耕耘一分收获",所以B项正确.A项,"当汗水流过脸颊,面包会很美味",逻辑和语意不通,所以A项错误.C项,"失败是成功之母",与文章毫无关联,所以C项错误.D项,"面包来自于脸上的汗水",逻辑和语意不通,所以D项错误.故正确答案为B.
30 A 细节题.由文章最后一句"At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight,I have finished the course,I have kept the faith."可知,作者积极对待生活,故正确答案为A.
31 D 主旨题.文章最后一句"At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight,I have finished the course,I have kept the faith."为本文主旨句,旨在告诉读者人生路上要勇于拼搏奋斗,D项"生命不止,奋斗不息"符合文章主旨,所以D项正确.A项,合理利用财富,吃吃喝喝地快乐生活,与文章主旨不符,所以A项错误.B项,有志者事竟成,与文章主旨不符,所以B项错误.C项,生活像一场梦,人像一棵果树,偏离文章主旨,所以C项错误.故正确答案为D.
